SOCRAIT FOR MISSOURI
For Missouri district and school leadership

Built for the student-support documentation that Missouri schools already manage.

Socrait is the teacher-controlled, voice-powered class companion. As teachers teach, it listens to the teacher's voice and turns what they say into usable documentation: behavior notes, praise and redirection patterns, engagement signals, parent-communication drafts, class summaries, MTSS- and PBIS-aligned observations, and attendance signals. For Missouri schools working across DCI-MTSS, MO SW-PBS, school-based mental health, and special-education progress monitoring, Socrait helps convert what teachers already notice into consistent, dated classroom observations, without recording or storing any classroom audio.

The Missouri Education Landscape

Missouri's student-support work doesn't run through a single mandate. It runs through an ecosystem of accountability, continuous improvement, and statewide support that schools are expected to document and act on.

DCI-MTSS and data-based decision making

Through District Continuous Improvement, Missouri provides a statewide MTSS infrastructure: implementation inventories and practice profiles, collaborative team structures, and data-based decision making in which teams meet regularly, analyze data, set goals, and monitor progress. These are statewide supports and frameworks, not a single MTSS mandate, but they set a clear expectation that support systems are team-based and grounded in usable evidence.

MO SW-PBS

Missouri Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support is one of the state's most established behavior frameworks, a collaboration among DESE, the University of Missouri Center for Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support, and the Regional Professional Development Center network. It is described as one of the largest statewide schoolwide positive behavior support programs in the country, with more than 800 participating schools across 220 districts. A 2025 peer-reviewed study of the Missouri initiative found that schools implementing SW-PBS with fidelity had significantly lower rates of exclusionary discipline. MO SW-PBS emphasizes effective classroom practices, Tier 1 universal supports, and data-informed problem solving.

School-based mental health, counseling, and trauma-informed schools

DESE maintains a Missouri Framework for School-Based Mental Health, offers team training, and supports comprehensive school counseling. The CORE Framework is available to schools as a social-emotional support resource. Missouri uses a framework with a tiered approach to identify engagement patterns, document at-risk students, and build partnerships with parents.

Why It Matters for Missouri Educators

The challenge for Missouri educators usually isn't understanding the goal. It's producing the evidence. MTSS, PBIS, attendance follow-up, identifying students before they fall through gaps, parent communication, and monitoring classroom engagement all work better when teams have specific classroom examples to work from and those examples begin with what a teacher notices in real time, mid-instruction, while managing the rest of the class.

Missouri has also made educator support a visible statewide priority. DESE has named recruitment and retention a strategic priority, invested roughly $40 million in grants to improve it, and published a Teacher Recruitment and Retention Playbook built around eight cornerstones of a state retention system, which lists the “Teacher Voice” as a foundation. When documentation expectations grow but classroom time doesn't, schools feel it as teacher overload, delayed follow-up, inconsistent notes, and harder handoffs between teachers and support teams. A tool that reduces after-hours paperwork while keeping teachers in control aligns with the strategic priorities of Missouri and with teachers.

HOW SOCRAIT FITS

Socrait listens to the teacher, not the students, and turns everyday narration into usable documentation. There is no audio recording and no new workflow to learn.

1
TPress Stream when class starts

Press Stream when class starts.

The teacher activates Socrait manually. It listens only when they choose to start it, and they can stop at any time.

2
They teach like they always teach

They teach like they always teach.

As the teacher narrates the room — a redirection, a win, a check-in, a note to follow up with a parent — Socrait seamlessly collects it in the background. No audio is stored, and student names are anonymized before any data reaches an AI model.

3
After class, the data is waiting

After class, the documentation is waiting.

Dated, organized, and ready for review and editing before anything is used or shared.

Your SIS, your IEP system, and your PBIS platform don't go away. Socrait feeds them the consistent, ground-level data they've been starving for without adding another data-entry job to your teachers' week.

What Socrait produces:

  • Praises and warnings daily student tally
  • MTSS tier 1 and PBIS-ready classroom observations
  • Parent-communication drafts
  • Class summaries, assignment changes, and reminders
  • Student profiles with behavior tracking and summaries for context
  • Behavior tracking over time with custom messages
  • Engagement, participation, and attendance signals

Missouri-Aligned Use Cases

MTSS Tier 1 documentation and data-based decision making

Collect classroom observations, share a timeline and tally of warnings, and see patterns that help teams decide whether universal supports are enough or whether a student needs more targeted review. Supports Missouri's DCI-MTSS and DBDM expectations for team-based, data-informed decisions.

MO SW-PBS and Tier 1 implementation

Give teachers an easier way to document praise, correction, routines, and engagement with the classroom-level evidence behind MO SW-PBS and its focus on effective classroom practices and proactive Tier 1 supports.

Student engagement and participation

Surface earlier signals when a student's engagement, participation, or classroom presence may be becoming a concern, supporting timelier follow-up. Track opportunities for praise and positive behavior outreach to families.

Parent communication and student-support meetings

Help teachers walk into family communication, problem-solving meetings, team reviews, and intervention conversations with clearer notes and draft language grounded in what actually happened in class.

MSIP-aligned continuous improvement

Strengthen the consistency and quality of the classroom information schools rely on to understand behavior, engagement, and support delivery over time, which is useful in a framework organized around continuous improvement and regular performance monitoring.

What Missouri Leadership Gets

Principals and assistant principals:

More consistent classroom documentation across teachers, and less reliance on memory when issues escalate.

Special-education directors:

Specific, dated classroom evidence to bring into progress-monitoring and problem-solving conversations.

MTSS and PBIS leads:

Classroom-level records that make tiered support discussions and fidelity conversations more concrete.

Student-services and support leads:

Earlier, clearer signals to inform team reviews and family outreach.

Teachers:

Less after-hours paperwork, less burden of remembering, and more time for students.
